You have a right to believe in anything you want.Wow! I did not think I would receive this many replies. First please do not argue or debate about this matter. If you don't believe in soul ties do not come back to this thread. Working out your own salvation doesnt require you believing in soul ties. I just know what the Lord has told me and due to my obedience I was healed.
I dealt with torment, spirit of heaviness, and oppresion for 15 years. I forgave, loved, prayed, read the Word of God, and I couldnt understand why I wasn't healed from my sickness and my pain that I suffered because of the sexual abused. I fasted and I was desperate. The Lord told me I need to break every soul tie from my soul. About 50 to 60 to be exact. As soon as I did that, the next morning I was a different woman. I was healed and He is healing me on a daily bases.
Just because you haven experienced it doesn't mean it is not true. Dont limit God and don't insult others because of your beliefs. There are millions of people in this world, not everything will be treated one way when it comes to God. I am no longer interested in this thread. I havent even read the replies. I will trust what the Lord told me anyways. I was just curious to what people think.
It is a spirit, especially molestation, I felt it on a young baby girl once, I was spending time with her and I had the most gross thought. I put that thought in subjection to Gods Word and I prayed over her.
This is from the NKJV, I haven't changed a word. In verse 13 Paul talks about sexual immorality. He establishes that he is talking about that in particular. In verses 15 & 16 he talks about a harlot. In this situation the word harlot literally means temple prostitute but the way it is used in context implies that he is calling a woman who has sexual relations outside of marriage a harlot. Either way, whether the woman (or man) is a prostitute or not, he/she is not the person's spouse. Verse 16 uses the "one flesh" term. This is indicative, when taken into context, of body, soul and spirit being involved with the sexual act and that there is a joining that entails more than the physical members.1 Cr 6:13 Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
1Cr 6:14 And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power.
1Cr 6:15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!
1Cr 6:16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For "the two," He says, "shall become one flesh."[fn2]
A soul-tie is a real bond that holds is in an enduring relationship with another person
(Acts 4:32 NIV) All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had.
(Phil 2:2 KJV) Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
(Phil 2:20 KJV) For I have no man like-minded, who will naturally care for your state.
In the letter to the Philipian church Paul pleads with the church members to be "like minded". In the Greek this word is "sumpsuche" which means "like souled". In other words, Paul was exhorting them to be "soul-tied" in a Godly way.
In the verse 20, the translation of "like-minded" is "identically souled". i.e.. of a kindred spirit.
The soul is the area of the mind, the will and the emotions.
When we form "soul-ties", it involves our mind, will and emotions.
1Sa 18:1 NOW when he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. /QUOTE]
Not all soul ties are negative. Jonathan and David's "knit" was a positive thing. The New Testament quotes above are positive things. Negative soul joinings are the enemy's perversion of truth.
I have read some peices in which the person is trying to say that soul ties don't exist because it doesn't show in any of those places that there is a dividing of a persons soul. This is an irrelevant argument because we're not talking about a physical thing here that has mass that can be divided. It's a giving of oneself, a term we use positively even is secular terms as in "Jim gives of himself in order to help people in need."
That's the way I see it.

How is that from the context since the context only talks about the "body" joined to the prostitute?I have to go back to 1 Cor 6, where it says:
... Verse 16 uses the "one flesh" term. This is indicative, when taken into context, of body, soul and spirit being involved with the sexual act and that there is a joining that entails more than the physical members.

people like to give names to things.
I agree. But dont you think we should say that a person is obsessed with another person rather than make a spiritualized and misleading soul-ties doctrine out of it? We do not have to make a doctrine out of every human emotion.

Preach the Gospel at all times. Where necessary, use words. ~St. Francis
i call it obsession, somebody else calls it a soul-tie. as long as you get free, call it what you want, and get rid of it with the Word, In the Name of Jesus.
